20190825 ~ The G7 Day 2

Personal note: I’m incredibly bummed. Italian Conte is present at the G7 and it messes up the vote. He resigned. Thought for sure Salvini would be there instead. Big Bummer.

Nonetheless, Merkel and Conte are on the way out. Macron keeps trying to play host, and assuming he is the one who runs the world. He looks like the 110lb geek who invites the Crips and Bloods over to his house to check out mom and dad’s new pool. He’s fixin’ to get rolled….. he just doesn’t know it yet. Tusk is barely hanging on and keeps shaking his finger, and Merkel……… well…..

Here is the Schedule for today.

♦ 2:15am EST / 8:15am CEST – THE PRESIDENT participates in a working breakfast with Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Biarritz, France

♦ 3:30am EST / 9:30am CEST – THE PRESIDENT participates in the G7 Working Session on the Global Economy, Foreign Policy, and Security Affairs, Biarritz, France. [NOTE: This is the economic segment of the summit requested by the U.S. delegation – keep an eye open for very specific remarks to the audience by President Trump.]

Lol! You win. It is a retirement party…a really bad one. But at least some guests are gracious. Once you posted their schedule it just was going to be a lost weekend. Unless something significant happens, im guessing lots of tweets from POTUS. Hes got to be bored.

Well, I think it’s a matter of authority, in some respects. Not truly understanding (nor all that interested) in the political parties of European nations …. I think Salvini is the head of a political party, and as such wouldn’t have any authority to speak for the country.
It would have been the same sending Boris to represent the UK last time…he had not yet been elected PM so therefore May still was the representative of the UK.
Hopefully, he WILL win the upcoming elections and his populist voice will prevail…but, you can bet there will be a lot of $$$$ spent against him.

“‘I’ll never forgive my sister, no matter what’: Savannah Chrisley defends her father Todd Chrisley over claims he tried to extort his daughter Lindsie using her ‘sex tape’ to force her to help cover up accusations of tax evasion”

They were mom shoes. Built for comfort and to decrease the risk of falls in the elderly.
I read that micron showed up uninvited to bend Potus ear at an unscheduled lunch. Potus made nice afterwards but oh to be a fly on the wall. Sushi chefs aspire to that level of expertise with a knife

Those Vichy militia boys are a disgrace, beginning with their facial hair and extending into a complete lack of discipline. Not just one but two of them were oogling FLOTUS. They have zero self-awareness in the presence of high dignitaries, and anywhere else these are “supposedly” the best of the best….unless in France, obviously.

Seriously, though, I have witnessed ACTUAL (non-parade) armed soldiers in action in Paris, in what appeared to be some kind of stealthy public operation, and it seemed very professional. My wife didn’t even see them. I was, like “Wow. Three guys with guns. They were this close to us. Out of nowhere.” She was, like “What are you talking about?” I still don’t think she believes me. I would have taken a picture, but it was all too fast. They were almost disappeared by the time I got my camera up.

I was glad to see this and learn that our President and First Lady got to fly across the pond on the 747, instead of the smaller 757 that they had to use in order to land at the airport in Biarritz.
😀

Red-eye to France. Air Force One wheels up on a 6-hour flight to Bordeaux, where the Trumps change to a smaller plane and a short flight to Biarritz, site of the G7 Summit. It's Pres Trump's 15th foreign trip, and 4th visit to France, his most frequent foreign destination. pic.twitter.com/T2CNcNMlV7

It was picked by Empress Eugenie in the 19th century. One of her favorite places.

Before people vacationed in Palm Beach or Cozumel or Maui or Ibiza, it was one of the first elite seaside resorts.

She was Spanish by birth, from southern Spain, so the climate was a bit more friendly to her than it would have been in Deauville or the other great stations balnéaires in Normandy, which were the other early beach cities for the well-heeled.

Surely some logistics challenges. AF has dedicated lift for POTUS on a moments notice. AF C17 can land most anywhere. I did notice President Trump riding in an extended Tahoe, IIRC. Not his traditional limo. Thought that odd.

President Donald Trump says he hasn't yet discussed France's announcement that the G-7 countries had agreed to empower French President Emmanuel Macron to send a message to Iran on behalf of the group of advanced democracies. https://t.co/xDcFXukENp

I’m getting the idea that Zarif was a surprise to the American delegation.
And Macron is wandering around, saying he has been empowered by all countries of the G7 to issue a statement to Iran.
He’s worse than Napoleon.
Trump response is, “No comment.”

Maroon HASN’T been empowered by all seven countries of the G7, if VSGPDJT doesn’t know about it (or even if he does).

This is going to blow up in Macaroon’s face. Maybe it will bring down his “government” as well.

Stupid frog’s a$$…

Of course the richest families in the world are in France, so I’m not surprised the French would pull a stunt like this. I hope President Trump puts a 1000-percent tariff on all things French.

Speaking of hospitality, it reminds me of this gem:

An American tourist is visiting London. As he walks, he feels “nature’s call”. He searches and searches, but does not find a toilet. Ever more desperate, he enters a tiny street, looks for a narrow and darker place, beside a tall wall and starts to unzip. Suddenly from behind somebody taps his shoulder. He turns around and sees a policeman there.

“Sorry sir,” says the policeman, “it is forbidden to urinate in public places.”

The American apologizes, tells him that he had no luck in finding a toilet and just couldn’t hold on anymore.

“Follow me, I will help you,” says the policeman. He guides the tourist towards a gate in the wall and shows him the way inside. The tourist is amazed, as he sees himself in a gorgeous garden, full of flowers, arrangements, bushes and trees. The policeman leads him to one of the trees and says, “You can pee here without any problem.”

The American does the job, and after he finishes, asks the policeman, “Tell me, is this what is called British hospitality?”

Agreement on farm products, industrial tariffs (auto tariffs remain in place), and e-commerce.
Will be signed at UN meeting.
Per Lighthizer, opens up another 7 billion in farm products to Japan market…..
big deal

So, 36 hours ago, China broke promise, reneged on deal and put tariff on farm products/soybeans.
Today, Trump just sold farm commodities to Japan.
President Trump is the best salesman for the USA!

I remember our guide in China, who was raised in the NE area of the country told us her mother (both parents were doctors) fed her crickets for protein when she was a child.
Unfortunately, even if you live in rural areas and can grow food or chickens/pigs, etc. you do not own the land and you are obligated to give so much of what you produce to the government. And, neighbors spy on neighbors!
If you live in the many massive over-crowded cities, well now you are in big trouble. The government is ruthless when it comes to care of the population…it won’t be pretty. North Korea, any one?
Just my observation and opinion from visits…i’m sure there are others here with far more personal knowledge of the situation.

Emmanuel Macron said Sunday that G7 leaders had agreed joint action on Iran with the aim of defusing tensions and opening a new negotiation with Tehran. But Donald Trump denied that this had happened.

The French president said on Sunday that G7 leaders had agreed joint action on Iran with the aim of defusing tensions and opening a new negotiation with Tehran.

“We agreed on what we wanted to say jointly on Iran,” Macron told LCI television. There is a message from the G7 on our objectives and the fact that we share them is important, which avoids divisions that in the end weaken everybody.”

“Everyone wants to avoid a conflict, Donald Trump was extremely clear on that point.”

But Trump denied this. “No I haven’t discussed that,” the US president told reporters on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Biarritz, France.

This contradicted Macron who shortly beforehand had said the G7 countries “agreed on what to say to Iran”.

Trump said: “We’ll do our own outreach. But you can’t stop people from talking. If they want to talk, they can talk.”

Macron, who has taken the lead to defuse tensions fearing that a collapse of the nuclear deal could set ablaze the Middle East, met Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Friday. The aim was to discuss proposals that could ease the crisis, including the idea of reducing some U.S. sanctions or providing Iran with an economic compensation mechanism.

Macron appeared to backtrack on his own team’s comments later, saying there was no formal mandate from the G7 leaders to pass a message to Iran.

Highlighting just how difficult agreeing on concrete measures between allies is, Macron said the leaders’ views had converged on not wanting Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb and ensuring peace and security in the Middle East.

“Macron, who has taken the lead to defuse tensions fearing that a collapse of the nuclear deal could set ablaze the Middle East, met Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Friday. The aim was to discuss proposals that could ease the crisis, including the idea of reducing some U.S. sanctions or providing Iran with an economic compensation mechanism.”

_______________

It’s like one long stream of consciousness lie.

The ONLY thing in it that MIGHT be true is “Macron… met Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Friday.”

Everything else was lies.

1) Macron hasn’t taken the ‘lead’ in anything; he can’t even take the lead in dealing with the problems in his own backyard, much less in Iran

2) there are no ‘tensions’ to be diffused, there is only money, with lots of people trying to get it

3) the ‘nuclear deal’ was a fraud from the start, everything about it was a lie, especially Hussein’s part

4) as if Macron could give a rat’s @ss if the Middle East was ‘ablaze’… he doesn’t even care if his OWN cities are on fire

5) the only ‘proposals’ the treasonous and corrupt Western leaders have is to give Iran whatever they want in exchange for lucrative contracts and kickbacks and money and money and more money. They’re CRIMINALS.

6) Macron doesn’t have any power to reduce U.S. sanctions, contrary to the delusions of his apparent fantasy life…

7) it’s amazing how concerned all these corrupt European governments are about Iran… there must be a hundred other countries in the world in desperate need of attention, and yet every socialist government in Europe is myopically focused on Iran… I’m sure their ‘interest’ is completely altruistic…

“the ‘nuclear deal’ was a fraud from the start, everything about it was a lie, especially Hussein’s part”

…

“it’s amazing how concerned all these corrupt European governments are about Iran… there must be a hundred other countries in the world in desperate need of attention, and yet every socialist government in Europe is myopically focused on Iran… I’m sure their ‘interest’ is completely altruistic…”

It’s very instructive to cross reference your thoughts re Iran and Europe here with those of Wolf Moon in his recent post on the history of China’s abuse of the US with respect to Vietnam, Watergate, Russiagate, Stefan Halper, etc.

Remember that France gave shelter for years to the rabid Shi’ite leader Khomeini when the Shah had kicked him out of Iran. (70s, maybe late 60s as well?)

Also remember that during Khomeini’s overthrow of the Shah, Khomeini’s Shi’ites were allies of the USSR-backed Iranian Communists… er, right up until the moment when they weren’t, and began rounding up all the Communists they could get their hands on, to kill and/or torture for information. (1979.)

For a decade or more now, Iran has clearly been the crazy, rabid, rogue, hermit kingdom on China’s western flank, just as Norkistan has been the crazy, rabid, rogue hermit kingdom on China’s eastern flank.

The more astute and honest foreign observers have noticed just how the nicely every twist and turn of both Mullah and Kim-dynasty nuclear megalomania and belligerence have dovetailed with whatever the Chinese Communist Party wanted at the moment. And how the Chinese leaders have stepped onto the world stage as elder statesmen, intervening time and time again to calm down the otherwise intractable North Korean regime.

China and Russia have both sold nuclear and ballistic technologies to the joint Nork/Iranian/Syrian a-bomb and missile programs. Germany and other European powers have also sold technology to their programs.

Now M. Maquereaun, and probably the other pro-globo EU leaders, arrange for Iran to suddenly send a rep to Biarritz, apparently à l’insu de (behind the back of) M. Trump.

Let’s think this through, looking at it from the perspective of knowing how much subversion China was able perpetrate in the West, (and presumably in the Mideast) starting no later than the Nixon administration.

Let’s keep in mind China’s strategic insight from Sun Tzu’s writings; their tradition, from the Asian board game go, of thinking in terms of surrounding enemies, rather than advancing toward them, as in chess; their cultural Marxism; and their patience for long-term solutions to their chosen problem of how to dominate the world.

Is it possible that everything we have seen, American humiliation in Indochina, Watergate, Nixon’s ouster, Church Committee hearings, Khomeini’s finding shelter in France, ouster of Shah, Shi’ite vs. Communist (i.e. pro-Soviet/pro-Russian) Iran, formation of the EU, rise of industrial China, Rodham in WH as FLOTUS, deindustrialization of the US and Europe, rise of nuclear and ballistic missile-equipped Iran and North Korea, Rodham driving for return to WH, fentanyl, global migrant crisis, Soebarkah’s occupancy of the WH, everything, shows the hidden hand of China, or an alliance between China and the globalist bankster set?

"We have excess corn in various parts of our country with our farmers because China did not do what they said they were going to do. And Prime Minister @AbeShinzo, on behalf of Japan, they're going to be buying all of that corn." — President @realDonaldTrumppic.twitter.com/cqRTDeKZLR

I hope and PRAY that things are going better for you, your daughter, and your family, and that GOD, the chief-chief-chief-CHIEF doctor of all heals your daughter, and guides the doctors and staff. GOD Bless…

anyone wanna speculate on who assigned this little frenchtwit the job of “surprising” our Lion…1st w/the unscheduled Breakfast, and now this?
Are we to think of him as so grand, the yellow vests deserve to be snuffed?
that’s my working hypothesis…
oh, what a poor judgment call!
underestimating our President seems to be a virus of sorts.

Macron prancing around like Justine is humorous – and harmless. He’s trying to show his many clueless citizens his leadership skills. If he remains in the role, he’s Teresa May in terms of power and influence on the world stage. Nada.

Curious timing with this G-7 meeting. Last year it was in June. This year, in France on August 25 the Feast of St. Louis, King of France (Louis IX). Could be a coincidence, but Q tells us there aren’t any.

The G7 dinner tonight at the Hotel du Palais in Biarritz is for the leaders and their spouses. (Macron has tried to orchestrate intimate dinners where the heads of state talk frankly, without handlers, over a glass of champagne.) Trump and Melania attending. pic.twitter.com/sYaqD4WXoI

You’re either completely insane… or you are a criminal of a scale so vast that you would deceive the entire world — upending the lives of literally billions of people — for filthy lucre.

Or you could be both. You could be criminally insane — which you probably are.

And every sane person who has spent more than 5 minutes investigating the bogus claims of the climate religionists knows it.

You sick people are gaslighting the entire planet, no different than if you were trying to convince the world that the sky was made of marshmallows.

That’s literally how insane your claims are.

And it’s only coincidence, I’m sure, that ALL of the plans you want to implement to ‘save’ the world from your poorly constructed — every single one of them — result in concentrating maximum government power in the hands of the few, and maximum wealth to the few — coincidentally, all the same people who are pushing for ‘globull warming’.

You’re like a bunch of professional bank robbers trying to convince the world that banks aren’t safe, and we should all hide our cash under YOUR mattresses.

That’s EXACTLY what you’re doing.

And you act like nobody can SEE exactly what you’re doing.

You look like idiots.

Arrogant, greedy, self-centered idiots.

ALL of you ‘glo-bull warming’ bastards.

You’re criminally insane.

And another coincidence, you just happen to ALL be Leftists and/or globalists. From the fake ‘scientists’ in the Leftist Indoctrination Hatcheries (formerly known as ‘universities’ until you destroyed them), to the corrupt politicians, bankers and Puppet masters, to the street-level cultists who use fascist violence and intimidation tactics — exactly like Hitler’s brownshirts — to silence opposing views.

You made up an entire pagan ‘new age’ religion, propped it up with hilariously bogus ‘science’, with the corrupt ‘scientists’ having been caught REPEATEDLY manipulating data or just making it up, in order to match their religious belief in ‘globull warming’.

But you didn’t stop there. Oh no. All that effort would have been for nothing, if not for the financial fraud component, and your ‘carbon credit’ scheme.

1) sea level rises a few feet, slowly over a period of YEARS, if not DECADES

2) there’s no danger to anyone who can move faster than a tree, you idiots. People who live and work on the coasts have YEARS to move further inland

3) this would cause a construction BOOM like the world has NEVER seen — all over the world. There would be zero unemployment, ANYWHERE, and…

4) you better HOPE there’s plenty of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, so the FORESTS can grow, because it’s going to take a lot of raw materials to rebuild cities on coastlines all over the world.

5) hundreds of millions of people, all around the world, who live a little further away from the current coastline, will become wealthy overnight, thanks to the REAL ESTATE BOOM that will result from investors and businesses buying up the “new” coastal property

6) the warmer climate (and extra carbon dioxide, hopefully!) will dramatically INCREASE the amount of land around the world which can be FARMED to grow FOOD

Where’s the DOWN side in ANY of this, Macron?

I mean, besides the inconvenience to your crime syndicate, causing you to have to come up with some other new scheme to rip people off?

It shouldn’t even be called ‘glo-bull warming’, it should be called what it really is, ‘Global FRAUD’, and you should all be strung up by your ankles in the public square like Mussolini.
